about*
My praxis ranges between the discipline of Process Design, Interior Design & Art Direction.
After finishing studying design (BA/MA) I founded my design studio, focusing on developing sustainable object series, directing photo- and video-campaigns and writing/producing a short movie with my female film collective AFAIK (As Far As I Know).
The objects I design exists between collectible design and sculpture. Each of my projects are firm reflections on mass and serial production. The design results from considerate observations of production processes, and how different materials naturally behave. These observations inform an ability to allow for natural behaviours in my own making, and therefore the ‘true quality’ within the process.
